Just about every college football program out west would love to build a pipeline to Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian and Oregon State is no exception. The Beavs have a former quarterback from the school on their roster and they're hoping that connection helps with a current Oaks Christian standout.

Richie Harrington is a freshman quarterback in Corvallis but up until recently he was walking the halls at Oaks Christian.

While there he was good friends with Francis Owusu, a receiver for the school's football team, and the two remain in contact. Could that connection help the Beavs with Owusu, the nation's No. 37 wide receiver in the Class of 2013?
